WHEN A TIE FEELS LIKE A WIN: Monmouth men hold No. 19 West Virginia to 0-0 draw

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Behind junior goalkeeper Bobby Edwards’ third shutout of the season, the Monmouth University men played No. 19 West Virginia to a scoreless draw oMonday afternoon.

Monmouth (2-1-1) kept the Mountaineers to minimal scoring opportunities, as the back line in front of Edwards remained strong.

“It was a big result for our program against a team that is ranked top 20 in the country,” Monmouth head coach Robert McCourt said. “The guys had tired legs after Friday’s game and travel, so I give them credit for being able to come into this big time program and get a tie on the road. There are a lot of new faces in the group, but different players continue to step up and be difference makers. This experience will give us something to build on moving forward.”
